Apple's iPhone provides customers with a top-notch smartphone and mobile Internet device. But like any other mobile device, the iPhone is not immune to incurring scratches. So if your iPhone spends a good deal of time in a pocket, purse, handbag or backpack, chances are the device has accumulated its fair share of scratches. By learning how to remove these scratches, you can keep your iPhone looking as sleek and shiny as the day you bought it.

Removing Scratches with Toothpaste

2. Rub the toothpaste over any scratches in a careful circular motion. Be very gentle when carrying out this step, as rubbing too hard is liable to give way to scuffs or, worse yet, it can damage the iPhone's surface coating.

3. Dampen a nonabrasive microfiber cloth with a small amount of cool water. Wipe the scratched areas in a circular fashion until both the toothpaste and scratches have been removed.

Removing Scratches with Brasso

1. Dampen a nonabrasive microfiber cloth with Brasso. Make sure the cloth is very lightly dampened so that the scratch-removal solution leak into the iPhone's interior.

2. Polish the scratched areas of your iPhone in a circular fashion. Continue polishing until all of the scratches have been successfully removed.

3. Rub the freshly polished areas of your iPhone with a water-dampened microfiber cloth. This will remove any remaining Brasso.

Things Needed

Non-gel toothpaste

Nonabrasive microfiber cloth

Cotton swabs

Brasso polish

Tip

To help prevent future scratches, purchase a protective case and anti-glare screen protector for your iPhone.
